Study of Multi-Level Cryptography Algorithm: Multi-Prime RSA and DES

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to implement and observe parameters like time and memory for implementation of multi-level encryption using the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and a modified version of the RSA Algorithm, the multi-prime RSA. The average values are calculated for each parameter after using a different number of primes and the results have been illustrated graphically and in tabular form for clarity of conclusions. The advantages and reasoning for using this approach have also been listed in the study.
